Installing Kurzweil K2661 ROM Options

Important! Before You Install…
…you must back up any user-defined objects that you want to keep: programs, setups, samples,
studios, FX presets, songs, intonation tables, velocity maps—in other words, anything stored in
RAM. All of these user-defined objects will be deleted from your K2661 when you do the hard
reset at the end of the installation procedure. The easiest way to do this is to make an
“Everything” backup; this stores the entire contents of the K2661’s RAM to a single file. You can
then reinstall everything in one operation, without having to keep track of individual objects.
Once you begin the installation, you can’t go back and do the backup. So if you want to save
your RAM objects, do it
before
you begin the option installation.
Making an “Everything” Backup
1. Press
Disk
to enter Disk mode.
2. Use the Alpha Wheel to select a destination for the backup: either
SMedia
or the SCSI ID
of a hard disk.
3. Press
Save
. The Save dialog appears, prompting you to select which range of object IDs to
save.
4. Use the Alpha Wheel or
Down
cursor button to select
Everything
.
5. Press the
OK
soft button.
6. Name the file, using the
Left
/
Right
cursor buttons along with the Alpha Wheel or
alphanumeric buttonpad.
7. Press
OK
.
Caution! Protection from Static Electricity
The K2661 and ROM options are sensitive to static electricity. You can seriously damage them if
there’s a “spark” between you and any of the circuit boards or option cards. It’s important that
you discharge all residual static electricity from your body before beginning the installation. You
should also work on surfaces that won’t generate static electricity—for example, don’t stand (or
put the K2661) on a rug or carpet.
1. Before handling any of the components you’re going to install, touch the outer casing of
the K2661 (or any conductive object). The casing of the K2661 is isolated from the circuitry,
so a spark between you and the casing will not damage anything.
2. Remove the option from its static-protective bag. Hold the option in one hand and then
firmly grasp the K2661 casing again with your other hand. Repeat this step for each option
that you install.
